Mr. Charles Kormi Kudzodzi, the over 80-year-old leader of Homeland Study Group Foundation (HSGF) championing the Independence of the Volta Region from Ghana is still locked up in the cells of the Bureau National Investigation (BNI), MyNewsGh.com has confirmed.

He was earlier this week granted bail with two sureties one of whom should be justified to an amount of GHC250,000 for him to report two times to the investigators thus Mondays and Thursdays, but we have established that he is unable to meet the bail conditions.

As at Friday, May 10, 2019, his lawyers were considering an option of applying for a review of bail conditions as it was impossible for him to get someone with a property valued at the stated amount.

An Accra High Court 2 presided over by Justice Jerome Noble-Nkrumah, Justice Afia Serwah Asare-Botwe and HL Justice Charles Edward Ekow Baiden granted him bail last Wednesday.

The other seven including; Besa Amedeus Akorli, Blay Kaku Freeman, Nkpe Tornye Kudjo, Thomson Tsigbe, Agbenyega Akudzi, Dzereke Kofi and Benjamin Agbodzagah were remanded into Prison custody to reappear on May 22, 2019.

The eight including the leader Mr. Charles Kormi Kudzodzi – popularly known as Papa Hogbedetor were arrested last Sunday evening while at what George Nyakpo revealed was a consultative meeting ahead of the declaration of the Western Togoland as an Independent State on Thursday, May 9, 2019.
